Cover of Such Great Heights by Chvrches
For a show on Hulu called Tell Me Lies, synth-pop band Chvrches covered Such Great Heights by The Postal Service. Lovely.

I love this song. Here's a lovely Iron & Wine cover of it:

This is wonderful, thanks Jason!
Writer Chris DeVille recently published a book of the same name, Such Great Heights, chronicling the indie rock explosion of the early aughts & where it's gone from there. Recommended for anyone who appreciates any of the 3 versions of this song mentioned here. Each chapter has an accompanying playlist, great for road trips, nostalgia and quite a bit of discovery.
